Boca Juniors didn't have a good last few months. They were knocked out of the Apertura quarterfinal, while in the FIFA Club World Cup, Boca Juniors didn't get out of the group. During the weekend, Miguel Angel Russo's team started their Clausura with a 0-0 draw on the road against Argentinos Juniors. That was the fifth consecutive Boca Juniors game in which Russo's team failed to win.
Union Santa Fe were terrible in Apertura, as they finished last in their group with only 14 points from 16 matches. Nicolas Vazzoler's team was in a terrible run of nine games without victory in the previous months. However, they won the previous two matches, so maybe we will witness a big turnaround in the team's form. In the Clausura opening round, Union Santa Fe won 1-0 at home against Estudiantes La Plata. The home side didn't have ball possession on their side, but they ended with xG of 1.73, while the guests had only 0.10, so it would be undeserved if Estudiantes took anything from the match.
Boca Juniors vs Union Santa Fe pick: Under 2.5 goals
Boca Juniors and Union Santa had one h2h match in January. In that game, the teams split the points (1-1). We should expect another low-scoring match in the upcoming tie in Buenos Aires.

Boca Juniors team news
Boca Juniors have some problems with missing players, as Oscar Zeballos, Sergio Romero, and Ayrton Enrique Costa are injured. Last week, Boca Juniors signed Leandro Paredes from AS Roma. The defensive midfielder skipped the game against Argentinos Juniors and will likely miss the upcoming clash against Union Santa Fe, too, as Paredes needs some time to return to form, as he didn't play in the last few weeks.
